Soul Surfer Page #2

That's Jeremiah 29:11.

"For I know the plans that I have for you,"

says the Lord.

"Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

"Plans to give you hope and a future. "

That's all the time we have tonight, guys.

If you are going on the mission trip,

please don't forget

to give me your permission slips.

Hey, what's up? What's this?

Well, it looks like I'm not going to be able

to go to Mexico,

so I brought some things for the orphanage.

I made the bracelets.

Noah donated the shoes

and the Spam's from Timmy.

Are you sure you can't come?

Yeah, I've got to stay and train

now that I'm sponsored.

I was really looking forward to it.

You're going to miss out.

Well, have a good trip.

Sarah's really bumming me out.

Any particular reason?

Yeah.

So, I told her I'm not coming to Mexico.

I mean, she knows that I have two

important competitions coming up, right?

I mean, she knows

how much I've put into this, you know?

How much you and the whole family

has put into this.

So what's her angle?

That going to Mexico to help kids

is really important.

And I know it is.

I mean, I really, really wish I could go.

It's just,

I've got to stay and train for regionals.

Did you say you'd go?

Well, yeah,

but that was before I got sponsored.

I mean, it's like she's counting on me now,

like I'm the only person in the entire world

who can do this.

I mean, I'm not going.

I mean, I can't, right?

It's your call.

Great. Now I feel even worse.

That's good.

A small step in a good direction.

The girls are all tucked in.

- How's it look tomorrow?

- Pretty decent, actually.

- Well.

- No, no, no, you can't.

What?

You have your surgery tomorrow.

The doctor said no food after 10:00.

This is like juice.

- Give it to me.

- No. No, no.

- Give it.

- No.

- Give it. Give it.

- No.

You need to relax,

they'll never know the difference.

Maybe we shouldn't. I mean, we have

to get up super early for dawn patrol.

- I mean, what happens if my mom comes in?

- Bethany, it'll be worth it.

The moon's full. The waves are perfect.

I mean, come on, it's almost Halloween.

Even Noah's done it.

- He has?

- Yeah.

- I really wanted to go.

- Okay, come on, let's go.

- Keoki.

- I knew it was you!

No way!

Yeah, you surf like a skater.

Hey!

You're toast, Keoki.

- Okay, truce. Truce.

- Okay, deal.

Bethy, it's almost midnight.

- What happens at midnight?

- You'll see.

What?

Later skater.

How lucky are we?

Awesome!

Good morning.

- Morning.

- Morning.

So, as soon as you girls get back

from the water,

I've got an English assignment all ready

for you.

But it's a holiday.

It's Halloween.

We were thinking that we could have

a couple extra hours on the waves today?

'Cause you didn't get enough last night?

Just say the word

and we can enroll you girls in Kapa'a,

where you can ride the bus

for 45 minutes each way

and do eight hours of straight work

during prime surf hours.

'Cause I'm all right with that.

Actually, I love home school.

Me, too. Adore, totally.

I'm really sorry, Mom. It's just...

I really, really wanted to go night surfing.

I mean,

everyone talks about how awesome it is.

- I mean, even Noah's done it.

- He has?

Good job.

- Why didn't you just ask?

- Because she knew you'd say no.

How do you know I'd say no?

- Would you have let me go?

- No. I don't know.

Hey, no, no, no, no.

I promise I'll ask next time, okay?

I'm going to hold you to that.

Dad, you should have them upgrade you

to a bionic knee

so you can actually beat Mom in surfing.

It's going to take a lot more

than a bionic knee.

You just wait.

You sure you don't want me to drive you?

Mom, I got it.

When you come through it, I will be waiting.

That's your dad, Alana. Have fun girls.

Bye.

Bye, Dad. Say hi to Dr. Rovinsky for me.

Have a good surgery, I'll be praying.

Rip it up. See you on the flip side.

This is a good one. This is a good song.

That looks good, doesn't it?

- All right, we're here. Let's hit it.

- Let's get out. Let's do it.

Sweet. I've got a meeting at 10:00,

so we don't have a lot of time today.

No problem.

Just pick us up after your meeting.

Yeah. Like that's going to happen.

Let's just get in the water already.

Come on, it's a long paddle around the reef.

Try and keep up with us.

Well, the anesthetic

should have started working by now.

- You feel anything?

- A little bit.

All right, it will kick in shortly.

We'll have you back out there

shredding waves with Bethany in no time.

Thanks, David.

Yeah!

Did you see that one?

- That was nice off the lip, buddy.

- Thanks.

I wonder what bathing suit

I should wear to the shoot.

The pink's cute,

but the black really works with my tan.

I don't think you get to decide.

They'll probably just tell us what to wear.

I guess, but it's fun to think about.

Can you believe

we get to come out here every day?

Yeah.

- Dad!

- Alana!

Shark!

I need to get to the beach.

Oh, God!

Dad, where's the shark at?

We need to get to the reef!

Just get to the reef.

Keep on the board, keep on the board.

Byron, you get to shore! Go! Go! Call 911!

It's going to be okay, Beth.

I'll start it for you!

Come on. Ready, pal? Let's go.

Push, push, push.

Stay with us, sweetie, okay? Stay with us.

Please, Jesus. Please...

- Alana, you keep her on the board.

- Okay.

- On the board.

- Please get me to the beach.

Please.

You're going to be okay!

Come on!

All right, here we go.

Doctor Rovinsky, we need this room stat!

It's a teenage girl from the North Shore.

Shark attack.

Who? Who is it?

I'll check it out, Tom. I'll check it out.

Stay with me, Bethany!

- Alana! Get over here!

- I can't.

Morning, Mom.

When did you go night surfing?

Night surfing...

All right. All right, sweetheart.

- Ambulance is coming, all right?

- I want my mom.

I know. We're gonna get your mom.

We're gonna get your mom.

Wait, wait, wait. What?

Mom?

- Dad! I called 911! I called her mom.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Grab the foot of the board. Okay?

Grab it, on the count of three.

Ready? One, two, three!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Take her up to the truck!

Let's get her up there right now!

Come on. Talk to me.

Watch your step right here!

What your step right there!

Where's the ambulance, Dad?

They're not here yet!

Don't worry about the ambulance!

We'll meet it on the way!

Alana, get the board!

Get her up! All right. Get up, get up there!

- Bethany, can you hear me? Oh, my God.

- She's losing a lot of blood, Dad!

All right, I see the ambulance. Here it comes!

- Who are you, sir?

- Family friend.

Do you know if she hit her head

or ever lost consciousness?

No, she never passed out,

but she's lost a lot of blood.

Here we go! Careful! Easy.

- Okay, lock her in.

- Please don't die.

Come on, come on, come on, sweetie.

Please don't take her! Please don't take her.

Please don't take her.

Tom, it's Bethany.

- No, no! No!

- Get me out of here!

- Get me out of here!
